Ok, so recently my friend shot a video of me off of her 4S. On her phone the video looked great, crystal clear. Then when she texted it to me, it came up completely pixilated and you almost couldn't see it. The same problem is on YouTube. Everything I search comes up completely pixilated, whereas on my computer it's fine. Any help would we greatly appreciated. :)

The iPhone records in 1080p. If you send a video via text message though it will be compressed until it looks like it was recorded by a potato.
If you want to send the full quality videos, maybe try e-mailing them? The only sure way is to transfer them to your computer and then from there upload them to youtube or send them some different way.
 
Ok, thanks :) Also though, when I go on YouTube on my phone, all those videos are completely awful too.
